The above, from which I even removed the accentuated characters (from French),
still does not work...

Now, I can imagine it is due to Cygwin, not to Emacs/Org/Babel. Though, that's
a problem in general for the use of sh blocks from Org... under Windows, then.

- Has anyone any experience with this?
- Can some Bash user confirm what I see?
- Can some Windows user confirm this with other Unix-emulation shells (MinGW
  and the like)?

Or maybe using a real file as temporary storage?  Overkill, or simply needed?

Best regards,
